Of Hillary Clinton, another supposed advocate, she simply says: "She cannot defend her own rights against her husband. How can she defend the rights of my country?"

haha

General Siddiq can wear her burqa anywhere in the world. Liberty means that she--or anyone--can refuse to wear a burqa anywhere in the world.

It's a simple concept. But many people seem to find it difficult to understand.

It's kind of like smoking cigarettes.

It's amazing how much alike Liberals and the Taliban really are.

All we need is one idiot fashion designer to make 'em 'fashion' and Julia Roberts to start wearing burkas and they will be popular here with the celebrity-class. Sigh.

Correction: Liberty means that she--or anyone--can wear or refuse to wear a burqa.

Liberty also means that she--or anyone--can smoke cigarettes or refuse to smoke cigarettes.

Et al.

Frankly, I wish Julia Roberts would start wearing a burqa.

Come to think of it--maybe the Taliban has a point.

Leftists imagine that, because they proclaim themselves to be "multicultural," people around the world will love and admire them. After all, they love themselves for their correct views, don't they? Unfortunately for all concerned, their view of the world is delusional.

In point of fact, Arabs and Afghans, like most Third-Worlders, really don't want Westerners to teach them what to wear, or to force birth-control and abortion on them, or to force or to tell them that disciplining their children violates their rights, or maybe that it's a violation of human freedom to put limits on public pornography.

We have every right to defend ourselves with all necessary force against attacks against us, our citizens, and our allies. We have no right to go beyond whatever is necessary to teach the perpetrators and those who shelter them that terror and murder of innocent Americans doesn't pay.

Who can doubt that clinton's NWO madness is part of the problem, not part of the solution?

Thanks for the MOST fascinating quotes I've seen this year; I had NO idea there was a female GENERAL in Afghanistan, who is obviously one 'sharp cookie.'

Let's hope that Christiane Annanpour or Jerry Rivers interviews her; she's incredible. I hope that all FRs have a chance to read this article - it's refreshing!

"Liberty means that she--or anyone--can wear or refuse to wear a burqa."

Exactly right, but you can't expect a feminazi to go around defending liberty, now can you?

She's absolutely right. The fight is over allowing women to decide for themselves which cultural practices they choose to follow. It's the beatings, the surpression, the forced lack of education that has held them prisioner.

That and the fact that all burquas were BLUE! Now, blue is a fine color, but face it, a woman needs a little variety.

Absolutely not. The last thing Liberals want is liberty. That's one thing they've got in common with the Taliban.

Not bloody likely!! She is the antithesis of the type of feminism they espouse.
